SERUM MARKET OVERVIEW

The global serum market size was valued at approximately USD 1.14 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 2.18 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 7.49% during the forecast period.

Generally, this is used as a supplement to the basal growth medium as in cell structure. Using serum has a lot of advantages especially in cell culture. Some of the advantages include macromolecular proteins and other compounds that are required for the vitro growth in the cell. 

There have been several developments and discoveries in this field. One such notable development is the discovery of new vaccines and biologicals using serums. This helps in finding cure for other diseases. The extensive use of this product in the high-end research and development and commercialization has led to the development of the market.  Occurrences of many severe diseases has created vast growth opportunities for the serum market growth.

COVID-19 impact: Decreased Research During the Pandemic Reduced the Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the serum market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The spike in CAGR is attributable to the serum market growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

COVID-19 was one such deadly disease that affected the entire world and all the industries. The serum industry also became a victim of the pandemic. During COVID-19 there were many restrictions and lockdowns that were imposed. The main focus of all the scientists was to find a cure to COVID-19.

As a result, there was a shift in the focus of the research and development departments all over the world. Extensive experiments were conducted to find a cure for COVID-19 as soon as possible. Because of this there was a substantial decrease in the usage of serum which was required for other purposes. This was the major reason for the downfall of the serum market share during the pandemic. However, post the pandemic the market recovered quickly and is anticipated to grow well in the upcoming years.

LATEST TRENDS

New Vaccines and Biologicals Being Introduced to Increase the Market Growth

Many creative and innovative changes are being witnessed in the above market recently. New types of serums are being launched these days that have various applications in different fields. These serums are extensively being used in the research and development field to discover other products.

New vaccines and biologicals use serums as their primary components. New innovations are being made in the immunization practices with the help of serums. This will create an opportunity and also provide access to live-saving interventions majorly in LMICs also known as the Low-and Middle-Income Countries. This will also help in creating and improving equity of health against any future pandemics. Cross-programme coordination and collaborations are being witnessed in the market which have led to the serum market growth.

All the above factors drive the market growth.

Growing Occurrences of Severe Diseases to Propel Market Growth

In the recent years there have been occurrences of many severe diseases. These diseases need immediate and extensive medical attention with proper medications. Most of the complex diseases use medications that are developed from serum.

This has created a huge demand for the product which in turn has increased the production. On the other hand, biologicals are also in great demand for their properties. All of these factors are prone to bring vast growth opportunities for the market in the upcoming years.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

Chances Of Contamination and Physiological Variability to Decrease Market Growth

Even though serum has many applications in the field of science and cell culture there are certain factors that are considered as the disadvantages of this product. Even though it contains more of major constituents it also has many minor constituents that are not completely determined. The shelf-life varies from one batch to another. The maximum shelf-life is just for one year.

Many precautions have to been taken while changing the batch and many tests have to be conducted to ensure that the quality is up to mark. The major restrain is that it can very easily get contaminated from pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. This can be very harmful and can act as a factor restraining the market growth.
